How to reliably quiet the phone at night?

[Erlend Leganger]

I want to automatically quiet the phone at night, the equivalent of using the Sound icon (which has three states: Normal, Vibration, Quiet). I have tried with the Sound Mode Plugin with varying results (see below), it doesn't always work. 

What is currently the best method to do this? I understand that this will vary depending on the Android version, I saw for example in the help text for Silent Mode action that it can only do Vibrate on/off in Android 5.

I know this is a very simple question, I just want to check with the experts what the current best practice is.

The phone is a standard Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F with Android 5.0), Tasker 4.8u2m.

Cheers,

Erlend

This is my sound-off task, not 100% reliable:

libSetSoundOff (3)
A1: Sound Mode [ Configuration:Silent Timeout (Seconds):0 ] 
A2: Popup [ Title:Sound Off Text:Sound mode: Silent Background Image: Layout:Popup Timeout (Seconds):2 Show Over Keyguard:On ]

I've never had a problem with this profile. You can ignore the profile off/on actions.

Profile: Silent Mode (54)

 Time: From 10:00PM Till 6:00AM

Enter: Silent Mode On (196)

 A1: Profile Status [ Name:Connected Set:Off ] 

 A2: Profile Status [ Name:Home Screen On Call Set:Off ] 

 <Missed Event off>

 A3: LED Controller [ Configuration:On,On,Off,On,Off,On Timeout (Seconds):0 ] 

 <0 of 15>

 A4: Alarm Volume [ Level:0 Display:Off Sound:Off ] 

 <0 of 15>

 A5: Media Volume [ Level:0 Display:Off Sound:Off ] 

 <0 of 15>

 A6: Notification Volume [ Level:0 Display:Off Sound:Off ] 

 <0 of 15>

 A7: Ringer Volume [ Level:0 Display:Off Sound:Off ] 

 <overrides ringer vibrate mode on volume off>

 A8: Silent Mode [ Mode:Off ] 

 <0 of 15>

 A9: System Volume [ Level:0 Display:Off Sound:Off ] 

 A10: WiFi [ Set:Off ] 

 A11: Alarm Volume [ Level:0 Display:Off Sound:Off ] 

Exit: Silent Mode Off (212)

 <Missed Event on>

 A1: LED Controller [ Configuration:On,On,On,On,Off,Off Timeout (Seconds):0 ] 

 A2: Profile Status [ Name:Connected Set:On ] 

 A3: Profile Status [ Name:Disconnected Set:On ] 

 A4: Profile Status [ Name:Home Screen On Call Set:Off ]

On Android 5.0+ the Interrupt Mode action will get you most of the way.

Heh, who knew? Interrupt Mode seems to do the trick. I see that in stock Android 5 "Do not disturb" (=Interrupt Mode) can have a schedule too, maybe this is enough for me. Thanks for the tip.
